Dream of Democracy

My belly clenches when I consider 
the state of our democracy.
We must find a way of 
talking with each other.
Respecting each other.
Listening and understanding.
Our country cannot be only about
division and derision.
We can overcome the forces
tearing us apart.
The river of fair minded 
quietly courageous citizens
continues to flow.
May it gently dilute and disperse
that which separates. 
May it restore parched hearts
with common values.
May it drown out what is detrimental
to dignity, decency and democracy.
